Test drove the 2.0 and 2.5L. Both were very good, but of course the 2.5L was more responsive and fun to drive. The Chasis Control really works. I didnt pull the trigger due to the following issues which I hope will be changed in the facelift version:
- Foot brake. I prefer hand or electronic parking brake
- Tonneau cover color is brown instead of black so doesnt match the interior
- 2 air bags. I'm hoping for at least 6
- Fuel gauge is analogue. Digital would have been better

The biggest irony is that even though they say that the 3rd row seats are for children, you're not allowed to use child seats on the 3rd row. Just check the Euro NCAP report for the Xtrail. Also on that report, it got the 5 star rating with 6 airbags. So when a salesman gives you some bullcr*p about the fantastic NCAP rating, you should know it does not apply to our Malaysian spec.
